Stuck on "Beginning Transaction" when checking in....

[heysad]

Fortress 2.0.1
Visual Studio Profressional 2008
Cllient : on Windows XP SP3
Server : on Windows Server 2008 Standard

I've had this happen a couple of times now...last night, tried to check in 3 small files from the same C# project and the process of checking in (both with the VS Client and the Windows Client) just seems to stall at the first hurdle.

Strange thing is, if I check the files in individually (last night I did this from the Windows client but *pretty* sure I've done it from the VS client before now) all works as expected....not sure where to go to get to the bottom of this so need some help please:)

In the middle of an Eval so need to get this pinned down as soon as.

Many thanks,

- Andy

If you wait a while, do the files eventually get checked in, or does Visual Studio hang?

If you check in one file at a time from Visual Studio, does the single file check in with no problem?

Are there any errors in the Fortress output/message pane in Visual Studio?

We might get some helpful information from your log files. You can enable logging in VS under Tools->Options->Source Control->Integration Options. The log will be in your user's temp directory.

Enable debug server logging in the Admin Web Client under Server Settings->Logging->Log Level.

The Fortress Server log is called sgvault.log and is in %windir%\temp\sgvault on the server machine.

Reproduce the problem, then send the logs zipped up to support at sourcegear.com, Attn: Linda. Please include a link to this forum post.

Always in too much of a hurry to wait more than a few minutes but if it happens tomorrow I'll be more patient and record any messages:)

If I check one file in at a time it works every time.

I will enable logging and report back in the morning.

Thx for your response!

It died with this error on my very nect check in, I hadn't turned any logging on but got the following error in Visual Studio....

Preparing data to begin transaction

An error occurred while trying to begin a transaction.

The request failed with HTTP status 502: Proxy Error ( The specified network name is no longer available. )

Are you using a proxy? Check in Visual Studio under Tools->Options->Source Control-> Fortress Options->Advanced Options->Network Settings.

Can you bypass the proxy by selecting "Do not use a proxy" ? If so, does the checkin succeed?

Another thing to try is to use Chunked encoding.

This setting is also in the VS Tools->Options->Source Control-> Fortress Options->Advanced Options->Network Settings.

If you already have that checked, you could try unchecking it.

Hi Linda,

I've sent you an e-mail with some log files etc.
